cd drive doesn't work

[civibernath]

CD drive properties says it's working fine, driver is the latest, but I can't eject tray. when I open with paper clip and put in a cd, laptop doesn't see it. When I eject it (paper clip again) I can see that it had been spinning.

It sounds like you need to replace the optical drive. They are standard items and easily replaced. Good luck!
